It was a very welcome and unexpected surprise, as I haven't had a real pay rise in the past 3 or 4 years.

Unfortunately, due to a recent company takeover and resultant change in financial accounting, the payrise missed this month's payroll yesterday, but that means another healthy wodge added to next month's payroll.

Yeah, you too!

Thanks for your kind words mate and congrats to you too! The extra $$ certainly helps. All the best for 2008!

Anyway, thats my good news for the Christmas season. Cam.

Exceedingly well done Toaster ... now you can afford another german helmet - or more sheep, whichever may appeal more.

Or perhaps more fuel for the evil beast.

Thanks mate! Yeah well, I have 3 helmets (all black) now so I better slow down or I will fill the study wardrobe up with all my biker gear!

More fuel means more riding - I like your way of thinking! Having said that, the Government takes 40% of it. So I suppose most of it will go on all the increasing prices of fuel, food, beer, wine, beer, power, gas, beer, fast women, beer, oh and I suppose the mortgage!
